The fact that the Weatherlight's completion is a footnote feels like a mistake to me. Or at least if it was going to happen it shouldn't have been in this set.

I feel the same about Ajani. What the hell, WotC. Those characters have been a part of the game since I started playing in 5th Edition at the oldest, and there’s even an entire Weatherlight _set!_

[@gamersrevenge6528]

I love your lore videos, I got into magic just before innistrad midnight hunt, and your lore videos got me soooooo excited for the set coming out, despite people calling it a bad set, i had a great time with it and it was so much fun opening boxes while listening to your lore videos about it. Since then It's become habitual when sets are coming out I always look for your lore videos and you always get me extremely excited for it. Thanks again man!

[@henryterhune8328]

Man, Elspeth is going to be so upset. I'm still not over New Capenna saying that the knight who fought her way to Mirrodin's core is too weak to hold a longsword and giving her a magical girl rapier instead.

[@AetherHub]

Yeah agreed haha Elspeth is much stronger than that!!!

[@chrisb87878]

Which story did it say that? 😮 I gotta read that haha

[@henryterhune8328]

@@chrisb87878 it's the story of New Capenna. She gets her hand on a longsword, but it's is described as too heavy and unwieldy for her, so it gets transformed via deus ex machina into a rapier that it describes as being more suited to her. Freaking gross.

[@christopherb501]

Gotta love those stories that are WRONG and moreso each time you look at them,regardless of angle.

[@SuperPcPenguin]

I really need them to do a story on how and when they had gotten ajani, because I have heard a lot of people saying he was a Phyrexian sleeper agent all along, but I don't see how that's possible. They could have been meaning that he was a sleeper since the start of the set story, though I think it was likely more in the 3 month span that Karn was stuck underneath the crumbled terrain of the old cave. Also I like how they had established rather early that teferi is still rather fragile dispite his chronomancy, and with how it had mentioned his aging and how the new version of impulse had a quote of him mentioning he had always used split second decisions and how he has just gotten better at making the right ones over time, I'm sensing a plot point of how the Phyrexians might complete teferi, utilizing his chronomancy to stance a stronger and more efficient grip on dominaria, and then the whole universe since a cold calculated force like the Phyrexians utilizing a master chronomancer to his maximum capacity would be a mighty force to deal with. And one last point that was left out that I feel might become highly relevant is that tezzeret is immune to phyresis, and bolas has been able to create a vaccine to phyresis. I was just discussing this bit with a friend at a draft last night and we have both came to the consensus that they might bring back bolas to have him create more phyresis vaccines and possibly even make a cure to phyresis. Due to the rule of cool, we also came to a consensus that since ugin is keeping a constant vigil on bolas, bolas is currently sparkless, and the 2 are twins, if this were to happen we would get a card with both of them on it, either as both appearing on one side and having an effect that sorta combines the effect styles of both of them or as a double faced card, one side having bolas as a legendary creature and the other side being an ugin planeswalker. I could also see a set of partner cards where the 2 together create a perfect counter to infect with some great benefit by dealing with some infect guys.

[@AetherHub]

Just my thought. He wasn’t a sleeper the entire story. It’s told through Ajanis smile. When Karn first meets him, he doesn’t show teeth (showing teeth is a sign of aggression for Leonin). After he is confirmed to be a sleeper… he smiles with his teeth. Meaning he becomes one sometime during the story

[@LimitBlade617]

I'm thinking he became one when going after the dude that got kidnapped, whose name I already forget.

[@MegaBekem]

I still find it really amusing that people think planes are planets when they really are dimensions of reality! If they were planets, then Phyrexia would not need a portal to get to Dominaria! It's amazing that no one has figured this out yet!

[@DoctaJ-zx6wi]

I love watching compleat story videos, they reek of perfection.

Wooow thank you so much simon! Love the content, love the plane, hate and love the phyrexians and have been waitint for their return! What a great video, i can only imagine how much work was put into that! Really appreciate it and already cant wait for the next sets story, even if this one didnt even come out yet

[@duckhuntdynasty6562]

What they did to Ajani...it is cruel...makes me sick. So hear me out... So, two months ago my mom was diagnosed with cancer. My mom has already been dealing with the chronic illness of rheumatoid arthritis and acute kidney failure. She already had her two hips replaced. Because of the constant pain her very concept of reality has been warped. My mom is not the same mom that I knew before. Phyrexian oil kind of functions like that. I kind of feel what they did to Ajani is like what my mom is going through and it hurts. He is not the same as what I remembered him by. I feel kind of pathetic caring so much for a fictional character like this. I am probably just shoving all of my anxiety onto a fictional character, and yeah big corp doing it for the $, but it makes me feel more deflated and hopeless for the situation vs hype to get the set. My comment will probably get lost in the void, but the feelings still remain. I guess I kind of need a jump-start to get me excited about playing mtg and the new sets. Maybe return to Lorwyn? Wait....*Ajani was one of first planeswalkers introduced in Lorwyn* ok now I am just gonna go ........ I want my old Ajani. #saveajani

[@DaemonKeido]

Elspeth will not rest until she brings her friend back from the darkness of Phyrexia. Of that, I am certain.

[@dmcdante1991]

What a great video -- makes my decks so much more fun to play with a little backstory!

[@EnerKaizer]

Honestly, the only way I see how the heroes can win this fight is for Karn to become the father of the machines willingly and override whatever "will" there is in the cursed Oil that dictates every phyrexians actions. Not only would it give the phyraxian threat an end, but it also opens up new possibilities. We could get neutrally aligned phyrexians which aren't default bad guys for example.

[@AetherHub]

Oh interesting. An hero behind enemy lines

[@xtrunfe69]

This is one of your best pieces to date. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

[@Pupalah]

What if karn goes to new phyrexia and activates the cylex, which in turn destroys all ofbthe colored mana there and opens a time rift sending the plane into the past only to be discovered by yawgmoth...

Was going to comment making it 'Compleated' but you did it with Kamigawa so would be a repeat jokes. This is truly the more terrifying side of Phyrexia: when it's insidious.

[@GregTom2]

Is no one bothered by the fact that upon realizing there were sleeper agents, they didn't think of running diagnostic methods like weighting to see if the average density is heavier than flesh, or some sort of X-ray through the body, or even just stripping and looking for surgical marks?

[@garrettsmith4034]

@@AetherHub 1 million percent. I kind of wish planeswalkers would be face card of commander decks more often. They should set Jace up to be the next villain. I feel like Tezz will off her to even up Gideon saving her. Jace will ascend to a new post bro war god tier Planeswalker and crush Tezzie's brain. I wonder if we will get a new mending event that 1) Offs a bunch of walkers... Hello Phyrexia 2) Also creates a new Planeswalker card style. Maybe they'll all be nerfed back to flip walkers? Or maybe even Titan level in the complete opposite direction of being nerfed.

[@christopherb501]

They would need to go all the way back to the time of the Thran to showcase Dyfed in something contemporaneous. If she were to show up "now", it would be as a previously unacknowledged _compleated_ thrall of Gix or something.

[@henrickpetersen6374]

I wonder if this story will lead to the release of Bolas or Emrakul, to help fight the phyrexians.

Great storytelling as always. Keep it up. Interesting in how the story progresses further. Do really like the suspense in the dmu.

I have always hoped that someone would go back in time and change that Mishra and Urza would unite, instead of fighting. They both should be Planeswalkers. Best of both worlds. That would complete the spark of Glacian. Then they would both be able to activate the sylix. Together... obliterating the Phyrexian threat. Travel to this time and truly unifying Dominaria. Or change Mishra into a Planeswalker. At least...remake Mishra! Great video and story lore! WOFC should hire you to tell stories. I'm in 1000! Regards, Arcmage.

Pre mending planeswalkers used to be godlike and ageless. Although they could be killed with enough force or enough head injury. Jhoira and Teferi had access to Tolarian water, which slows down the aging proces.
